Verizon says 5G network will cost extra $10 a month

Verizon said on Wednesday that it plans to launch its highly anticipated 5G network on April 11 in Chicago and Minneapolis. T-Mobile (tmus) hasn't named its starting cities, but says it won't raise the prices of its current unlimited plans for 5G users. The 5G Moto Mod only works with the Moto z3, and will available exclusively to Verizon customers in the U.S.

"5G Mobility service in Chicago and Minneapolis, and all Verizon 5G services going forward, use the NR standard developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)", Verizon's press release said. Besides, customers can also activate a new line of service on a Verizon device payment plan to get the phone and the mod. As long as you have one of Verizon's unlimited plans (Go, Beyond, or Above Unlimited), you can pay $10/mo and get access to 5G.

"5G data usage with the Moto Mod is unlimited with no data deprioritization", a Verizon spokesperson told Ars today.

The largest US wireless carrier by subscribers will offer the device for $50 initially and its customers would not have to pay for 5G use for the first three months. We'll undoubtedly be hearing more about Verizon's 5G plans soon, so stay tuned for more, but in the meantime, head down to the comments section and let us know if you'll be signing up for Verizon's 5G service on April 11. More information on the Motorola phone and 5G device is available at this Verizon FAQ.

At the end of the day, the Moto Z3, with the thick 5G Moto Mod, is phone and it gets you a 5G signal before anyone else - depending (another "depending") on where you live. For now, the Moto Z3 and its 5G Moto Mod.

Verizon is moving ahead with its 5G ambitions with the announcement of the first two cities where it will deploy its ultra-fast connection. Samsung will eventually launch Galaxy S10 5G as a timed Verizon exclusive, but that won't be arriving until sometime this summer.
